BYU fans are angry about the CFP disrespect — but Matt says the entire Big 12 should be upset.
The conference is being discounted from top to bottom, and the numbers prove it:
BYU has ONE loss — on the road vs. #4 Texas Tech.
They have 6 wins over bowl teams, which is MORE than:
• Texas Tech (5)
• Georgia (5)
• Indiana (4)
• Texas A&M (4)
• Notre Dame (5)
• Ole Miss (3)
All of those teams are ranked higher than BYU.
And we’re still hearing:
“bUt ThE sEc ScHeDuLe…”
You mean the SEC where one-third of the coaches were fired this year?
The same SEC that has fewer bowl-eligible teams than the Big 12?
That SEC?
Now look at opponent records:
• Notre Dame: 75–67
• Ole Miss: 65–67
• BYU: 77–55
Ranked wins:
• BYU — Utah, Arizona
• ND — USC
• Ole Miss — Oklahoma
Matt’s take:
This isn’t just BYU bias.
It’s Big 12 bias.
A 2-loss Independent shouldn’t be sniffing the playoff.
An SEC team with one marquee win and no title game appearance? Same.
A Big 12 runner-up with two losses to a top-5 team and a résumé that blows theirs away?
That team gets punished instead. #BYUFootball#Big12#CFPBias#CollegeFootball#TheMattCave#UtahSports#GoCougs
